but the sea rose and the wind came off from

THE PEACE OF EUROPE,
NJ. FlOurens Creates u Sensation IN 20.
htical Circles-Russia's Attitude DE.
fined by the French Minister Of Foreign
Affairs.
: PARIS. March 2S.

PARIS, March 2S.
A sensation has bsen caused in Paris and
ST. Petersburg by the publication of re-
ported conversation between NJ Flourens,
French minister of foreign affairs, and the
correspondent of the Novoe Vremva of st.
Petersburg. The story told is officially de-
clared to be incorrect, but little value is at
tached to the denial
According to the published report NJ.
Flourens said:
Il entered the Office ith the full convic-
ton that the key to the European policy was
in st. Petersburg. While Russia is with us
war with Germany is impossible. Germany
by the chance of her States disuniting would
suffer more than any other power by defeat
In heretore she has no course but to live on
good terms with Russia and with us. Russia
came forward for us in moment of danger
and we will not remain with folded arms
should she be endangered"
Mr. Flourens professed that he had little
fear of the new alliance of Italy, Austria and
Germany. Italy being mainly naval power
Germany and Austria could give her nothing
and she would have no interest in taking part
in war. He believed that the Bulgarians
themselves, or the Turkish government,
would expe the regent and Russia would
have no need to interfere in the Bulgarian
situation.
Touching Frances relations with England
he saic no complications were likely to arise.
England would sooner or later quit Egypt
and SO could not dream of continental con
quests.

ing the only persons in the building. Ac.
cording to Albecht's story he detected Lana.
nan IN an attempt to cheat him, and he re-
hohsoated with him when Lanahan grabbed
a long iron bar and made a savage pass at
him. Albrecht, in self defence. drew a re-.
volver, and fred two shots at Lanahan one
passing through his forehead and coming out
at the back of the head, causing instant
oeath. Flanagan then championed Lana
nan cause, and started for Albecht also
win the iron bar, but was met by two or
tnree more bullets from Albechts revolver.
one OF which passed through bis left breast
ana another lodging in his head. Flanagan's
wounds are pronounced fatal.

claims to have graduated at the University

The most damaging testimony against AL

shooting was done were found four more
empty shells, thus indicating that during the
afray Albecht stopped to reload his weapon.

New YORK, March 90.

NEW OKhi
Considerable feeling has been reused in the
New York Yacht Club by the news that Bush
has offered the Coronet for sale, the inference
being that the recent race was an advertising
dodge on his part, He acknowledges that he
has called Captain Crosby to take the yacht
to Cowes, Isle of Wight, and announces that
she is for sale far 80 600 pounds. He says
he knew when the vessel was built that she
was the fastest vessel in the world, and he
made the race with the Dauntless to prove it.
He says he has no time to sail her, and hopes
that some good yachtsman who has, will buy
her. He will not enter the Coronet in the
Queens jubilee races, for he doesn't believe
in those bath tub races for boats of her class
Colts losses by his defeat are said to reach
the sum of $40 600.

A WORD FROM POWDERLY.
Denial of all Charses-Men Lose Sight
OF the Labor Cause in Finding Fault.
New YORK. March %

New YORK, March 28.
Grand Master Workman Powderly has sent
out the following circular in reply to reports
published concerning a movement on foot to
remove him and other officers on the charge
of unconstitutional conduct:
The members of the order are treated each
day to rehash of the charges of dishonesty,
corruption and villainy on the part of your
general officers. The press of the day is busy
with tales of gross misconduct and incapacity
of Mr.. Powderly. One day it tells that he is
losing his held on the order and the next day
he is said to be preparing to resign. Again
the reports have it that all large districts are
to turn him out at the next session or sooner
If all that has been said of him were true, he
should be ready to emigrate to Canada at
moments notice. Is it not strange that the
order did not find out what a bad man he was
until he was voted at large salary?
ibis is the first time that have mentioned
anything that has been said about salary and
am not going to make an explanation as to
what | intend to do here. | will reserve that
until | meet nv defamers face to face in the
gen, raj assembly; and when l do meet them
will satisfy them all if they are honest men
and will make good return for the money
voted to me.
The reference to the disturbances in the
order. neglect Of the officers and the dishon-
esty of officials, was not made without cause.
If the men in the order did not have these ru-
mors to keep them busy they would have
more time for the watching of other events of
real importance to their interests. The eyes
of our members filled with the sands of SLAM
der, could not see the work which our COM
mon enemy was doing. Monopoly was at the
State legislatures and capital remained on
guard watching its own interests, while labor
followed after. You may take turn again
at watching your general officers, but do not
lose sight of vital questions while looking for
something to find fault with.
